Speak to the ocean Make your plea unto the sea Cast your wishes on the waves that break To wash you utterly Then perhaps you'll hear the answer In the trade winds off the shore Tell that life will be much sweeter And that pain will be no more My name is Doctor Richard Mossback Please listen to the story I brought back From the slimy briny seashore I delivered to my colleagues yesterday I went diving just the other day Seeking sunken treasure 'neath the Biscayne Bay When a lovely little figure From the dim blue depths of nowhere Swam my way Hair long blonde flowing as her dress Her lovely arms could not conceal her buoyant breasts Though her human beauties able I was shocked below her navel Fishiness Cause good God what a tail she had Good God what a tail she had Finny Gwennie I thought I caught my dream girl But I never guessed that she would look like this She swam close right beside my chest The maiden murmured bubbles popped against my head As I thought I would go crazy She allured me to her hazy Aqua nest Embraced we fell in the kelp beds Deep deep down in the kelp beds Though I loved her flashy scales I guess so did all the whales Who would stare Cause good God what a tail she had Good God what a tail she had Finny Gwennie I thought I caught my dream girl But I never guessed that she would look like this She said since we've come this far Not much more to Terra-Mar Trust in me don't get suspicious Right this way follow fourteen fishes Damn marine construction The busted oil well erupted All around us was the oil slick I grabbed her tight that's when she slipped away None believe all think I'm mad I'm madly in love with this girl or this shad I will find her end my sorrow We will make our home tomorrow In the sea Cause good God what a tail she had Good God what a tail she had Finny Gwennie I thought I caught my dream girl But I never guessed that she would look like this Oh yes I thought I caught my dream girl But I never guessed that she would look like this Finny Gwennie Oh ah ooo...
